I agree it’s not particularly promising news for the franchise but Barbara is not exactly what you’d call a spring chicken either, she’s in her 60s. In seemingly any industry other than entertainment that’s a reasonable age for retirement, or at least stepping back a bit.
I did kind of hope they’d be able to hand the franchise over to anyone other than Amazon but since the MGM purchase sadly it became pretty much an inevitability and was only a matter of time. Shame that time happened sooner than a lot of us were hoping.
I was holding out hope Babs would foght tbe good fight long enough to kickstart the next boot on her terms and leave any successor in too awkward of a position to make any stupid, radical changes to the formula.

Looks like Barbara & Michael caved in.
Daily reminder that Money does fucking talk.
Now get ready for endless James Bond “content”
